Hey folks, finished the rough forging on the blades for two more swords. One is going to be a 36" viking, and the other is another 48" longsword (the first failed HT and became a destruction test
). I still have to draw out the tangs on these and give a few more heats on the blades to true everything up and smooth things out a little bit more. But here they are so far. I should hopefully be finished with all the rough forging tonight, and maybe get a good jump on grinding tomorrow, could probably even have the rough grinds done tomorrow since the KMG makes things go about 5 times as fast and smooth
. I am itching to finish a big one... so I thought I'd do two
Will post the progress as it comes.
